Definitions

  • the invention relates application of decorations to packages.
  • printing systems or printing stations are known for printing containers using digital, electric print heads working on the inkjet principle.
  • multiple treatment or printing positions each holding a container to be printed, are formed on a transport element that is driven to rotate about a vertical axis.
  • the containers are printed on using electronically controllable, digital print heads working on the inkjet principle.
  • Methods are also known for labeling packages, in particular containers or bottles, with labels that, for example, are first printed on-site, i.e. directly before application to the packages, using suitable printing methods, for example using digital print heads. These can be individual labels or roll labels. Printing can then take place, for example, with advertising messages, product marks, and/or product names, and with the necessary and required notices and information.
  • the printed labels are applied to the packages with labeling machines of conventional design.
  • Peel-off labels are also known. Such labels include multilayer labels comprising a carrier label that is attached to the packages with a high adhesion strength, and at least one detachable part label printed with a part decoration. This is held on the carrier label with a reduced adhesion strength and covers only a reduced surface region of the carrier label.
  • the respective part label can, for example, be detached by a purchaser or consumer of the product filled in the packages, and offers for example the potential for actions promoting sales, such as promotional actions, and/or event-related or event-oriented activities or promotions.
  • the part labels can, for example, be applied to the packages in the form of peel-off lottery numbers and/or collection labels that can then be affixed to albums, game cards, etc.
  • the object of the invention is to find a method in which, with a high operating reliability, it is possible to change and/or adapt the decoration of packages, with regard to the part decoration of the detachable part label, rapidly and flexibly, where applicable in an event-related or event-oriented manner.
  • the decoration is applied using peel-off labels but with empty or unprinted or only partially printed detachable part labels that are only printed after application of the respective peel-off label to a package.
  • a particular advantage of this embodiment of the method according to the invention is that by far the largest part of the respective total decoration is already present, pre-printed on the carrier label, and only a small part of this decoration, namely the part decoration of the detachable part label, must be produced by printing the part peel-off label already applied to the package, during the on-going process.
  • the detachable part labels are printed “just in sequence”, and preferably with electronically controlled printing stations or print heads, preferably with print heads working on the inkjet process and known to the person skilled in the art, with controlled movement, for example with controlled rotational or swivel movement of the package relative to the respective print head.
  • “Peel-off labels,” as used herein, are generally labels, including individual or roll labels, that have at least a carrier or main label and at least one part label, the surface dimensions of which are smaller than the surface dimensions of the carrier label and that is provided on the carrier label detachably i.e. with reduced adhesion strength, preferably using a self-adhesive layer.
  • orientation feature is a feature on the package that e.g. can be scanned mechanically and/or optically and that allows orientation of the package.
  • a “package feature,” as used herein, is an orientation feature caused by the shaping of the package.
  • a “main decoration,” as used herein, is the package decoration that is applied to the respective package and not covered by the respective part label or its decoration or part decoration, and that is formed either by printing directly onto the outer surface of the package or preferably by printing of the carrier label of the peel-off label.
  • a “package,” as used herein includes a pack or container that is used in the foodstuff sector and particularly in the drinks sector, and in particular containers such as bottles, cans and also soft packs, for example, those made of cardboard, plastic film, and/or metal film.
  • a “puck” is a holding, centering, and orientation unit for the package on which the respective package is held and moved from the package inlet to the package outlet through a package transport line of the transport system, and that here preferably also causes a controlled orientation of the respective package for its treatment.
  • Transport elements adjacent to each other for transport are transport elements or transport and handling elements that are configured and arranged such that, at the delivery regions, they take the pucks from a transport element upstream in the transport direction, hold them, and pass them on to the transport element downstream in the transport direction.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a top view of a plant or device for treating packages in the form of containers by the application of a decoration, at least in the form of a peel-off label, to each package,
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram of a top view of a transport and conveying line of the packages or containers through the device in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 in positions I-IV respectively, a container in the form of a bottle before application of the peel-off label (position I), after application of the peel-off label (position II), after printing of the part label of the peel-off label (position III), and after detachment of the part label (position IV);

  • This part label 2 . 2 is only printed with its decoration features (part decoration) after application of the peel-off label to the respective container 3 inside the first device 1 .
  • the part decorations are multicolored.
  • the particular advantage of the foregoing arrangement is that during production, the content and/or form of the part decoration of the part label 2 . 2 can be modified and/or updated directly and without delay. This is useful for event-related printing responsive to current events e.g. sporting events etc.
  • the peel-off labels 2 are applied to the containers 3 on their surface side facing away from the respective part label 2 . 2 such that the adhesion strength between the carrier label 2 . 1 and the respective container 3 is substantially greater than the adhesion strength between the carrier label 2 . 1 and the part label 2 . 2 .
  • the peel-off labels are, for example, designed as self-adhesive labels on the surface side facing away from the part label 2 . 2 , or are fixed onto the respective container 3 on this surface side with a glue layer, and/or are designed as looped labels surrounding the container 3 .

  • the pucks 8 hold the containers 3 at their tops or in the region of their container mouths, closed by closures, during transport along the container transport line 7 .
  • the pucks orient the suspended containers 3 by rotation or swiveling about their vertical or substantially vertical container axes BA.
  • the pucks 8 are each formed in at least two parts, namely comprising a primary part 8 . 1 and a holding part or ring 8 .
  • the primary part 8 . 1 is mounted to be rotatable around the puck axis PA and is arranged coaxial with the container axis BA.
  • the primary part 8 . 1 is held at a receiving or treatment position 6 of a transport element 5 .
  • the primary part 8 . 1 is formed with a suitably gripper-like underside to hold the container 3 .
  • each container 3 is picked up by a puck 8 and moved on one and the same puck 8 through the container transport line 7 to the package outlet 1 . 2 . Only there is the respective container 3 released from the associated puck 8 .
  • the pucks 8 are then returned on a puck transport line 9 , indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 1 , to the package inlet 1 . 1 or to a module 4 . 1 forming the package inlet.
  • the primary part 8 . 1 has at least one coding 10 that is detected by an increment sensor 11 arranged at the respective receiving and/or treatment position 6 . Together, these form an encoder system that supplies an encoder signal for the controlled orientation and/or rotation of the containers 3 about their container axis BA.
  • the primary part 8 . 1 of each puck 8 is formed as a rotor of an electric actuator for the controlled orientation and/or rotation of the containers 3 , and for this has an annular permanent magnet arrangement 12 that surrounds the puck axis PA concentrically and forms magnetic north and south poles alternating successively in the peripheral direction and lying radially on the outside.
